Tony Hart, the much-loved presenter of Hartbeat and Take Hart passed away aged 83, after a spell in hospital for a chest infection. He joins Oliver Postgate, creator of Clangers and Bagpuss, as one of a kind children’s TV figures who are irreplaceable and will be sorely missed. Tony Hart was also the man responsible for the Blue Peter badge and thus monopolising all that is great about children’s TV in the ’80s.
